Nothing more than a simple an

Jones is daughter of j. b. Jones,
who is worth probably $500, 900, and
resides in the fashionable suburb of
Sewickly, ten miles down the Ohio
river. The young lady, who is
niece of Judge and Ex-Postmaster

about twenty-five years of age, and

DETROIT, Mich, June IAN
Evening journal special from Vas

mapping and robbery ia which q
Tuscola county woman is the victim
has just been made public here.
Last fall Mrs. Albert Brooks, Of
Juniata, Tuscola county, went TO
Denver to take possession OF $4,000
in cash and real estate left her, she
said, by an uncle. She reached Den
yer safely, received the money and
made arrangements for the manage
ment OF the property. Since that
time nothing has been heard OF the
woman, and several weeks ago Mr..
Brooks went West to unravel the
mystery if possible. He has returned
and reports that no clew was found
to the miss ng woman, and that no
had placed the matter in the hands
of detectives. A sister Of Mrs.
Brooks, who also received $50, 900
from the uncle, has put $4,000 in

Romantic Adventures Of q Bad Man
Who Went TO Scheol with
Jesse Grant.


New YORK, June ia day or
two ago a detective with whom | am
acquainted gave me a letter Of intro
duction to a semi reformed crook.
Semi reformation in this case means
that the man has abandoned plain,
ordinary stealing and has gone to
gambling. There are many such in
New York, and my letter was ad-
dressed to one of the best Of them.
| was particularly anxious to hear
him tell how he stole wedding cake
and treated the bride and groom to
a piece of it. The detective had
outlined this instructive tale TO mo,
leaving the details to be filed in by
the hero himself.
Doc" Merryman has been a crook
aud there is no use denying it. He
has violated the eighth command
ment artistically and often, but In
spector Byrnes has said that the
crooked shall be made straight, and
the Doc, after a trip or two up the
river, has decided to try it. He has
not recently INDUCED in unauthor-
lied redistribution of property. My
letter of introduction contained the
words, Talk to him as you would to
me"-this from a detective to a
crook. But it produced the desired
effect, and | found that | could have
had no better credentials, From the
detective | learned that the Doc was
of good Western stock, though his
parents were poor. He was a school
fellow of Jesse Grant, and in fact
use to sit at the same desk with him.
lie knew the whole Grant family
well, and this proved a good thing
for him later.
His first departure of any oonse-
quence from the straight and narrow
way was in the line of forgery, and he
went up" for ten years sentence
in consequence. This was when
Grant was President. From his
dungeon cell the culprit wrote an
appeal to Jesse Grant, calling upon
him as an old schoolmate for help.
The case was at once investigated,
and as the sentence was manifestly
unjust, President Grant pardoned
the prisoner after a short term. But,
unfortunately, be was not reformed

mot bit of it; just watch me, or
rather watch the cake" and Johnny
did 60, while his pal disappeared to
gain the front of the house. 1t was
not swell wedding on Back Bay,
but just a quiet little affair in a re-
spectacle though not aristocratic
street. Only few friends were pres
ent, but in some way, known only to
such men as the Doc, and perhaps n
reporter or two, the willy crook gained
admission to the house, and in ten
minutes had accomplished such a
diversion as to delay the entrance of
the party into the dining room.
Meanwhile Johnny had mashed"
the cook, and on one pretext or
another had disposed of the other
servants, and before anyone in the
house realized what was being done
the auda,ious scamp had actually
walked off with tho wedding cake,
the silver platter on which it had
been put, and the basket Of wine.
The Doc, before the discovery had
been made, excused himself and
withdrew. They decamped on 6
o'clock train, which connected with
Sound steamer.
The stolen wines proved to be OK
Cellent; 80 good, in fact, that the two
friends concluded TO share them with
the passengers. They quietly passed
the wine around the saloon without
at FIRST attracting the attention of
the officers Of the boat and then, as
4 giddy climax of drunken bravado,
they actually passed the wedding
cake around on its silver platter, Civ
ing some absurd excuse to account
for their possession Of it. 1t reads
like romance, but, as the Doc says,
Copper me eternally from soda to
hook if the bride and groom weren't
among that crowd; and they ate
their own wedding cake second
hand"
This was too much; the luck had
changed, and the spoil of the reck-
less pair was recognized by the vic
tins, who reported the facts to the
captain. As a consequence the po-
